Thought there was a jumper in there to do the "genesis-ing" of the box, rather than pulling the battery. Surprising that support didn't have you clear that stuff very first thing, knowing you had HMC=0 on your screen. -- Justin C.

I seems like the system was not completely "re-set" before it left the plant. I personally think the the battery trick is very hoaky. Bryan Dietz Tuesday, January 24, 2006 4:49 AM To: midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx cc: From: Coen Wessels <coen.wessels@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: OP Console and HMC=0 Hi, While installing a new 9406 model 520, we've ran into a problem of OP Console connection, I'd like to share with you. The machine was delivered without HMC, nor twinaxe, but with a #2771 OP Console card. After Power On (D M) in order to install LIC form DVD-ROM, we got HCM=0 on the display. No access to 65+21 functions on the control panel, the numbers stopped at 64. So, we were incapable of activating the connection between the #2271 card and the PC (XP-Pro). IBM told us to install the Windows Modem Driver in addition to the iSeries Access installation, which we hadn't done, but still no connection possible. We then tried, with ASMI, to reset all Factory Settings, with no positive results. Finaly, IBM told us to isolate the battery on the HMC card, wait for at least 30', and then power on again. It was only then that we could access 25-26-66 and other 65+21 functions. Of course, you loose settings entered before (Date & Time, machine name, ...) but at least it helps ! We then activated the modem with 25-26-66, set the console connection to 02 with 65+21 functions, and finaly could logon to the system. Lost much time, though ! Maybe this could be a help to someone once.
